The first conrert tendered by the pupiiLs of Mr Gerald' C. 'Brantsomv of Ma<sterton; was givem,, in Murray's Hall last night, and proved an unqualified snccess. About two hun- i dred persons' were] present, inokuddng many.of the leading, residents of the- towm and district.,, The programme comprised fourteen memo- | ens, and, apart from the contribu- i tions of the pupils,- which showed' that each had undergone a careful i and intelligent perparation, added interest was lenit to the occasion by the ipea-form&nees of Miss Ava Syjm)on,&, of Hastings, on the violin, 'and Miss Hampton oil the piano. The violin sole*, of ; ; Miss'. Symons were* splendidly,. .rendered, her technique and bowing being quite a revelation. This young lady should, with careful handling, have a hrilli-1 ■ant future. Miss Hampton played ' ■the accompaniments in her usual fkrished style. To criticise individually the contributions of Mr Bran* soil's pupils would- require greater ispaoe than iavavailaible K iii i, sue. It is, perhaps, sufficient to isa-y that each>item was- itapturoaisly ■'■ encored— a tribute in/ itself to" the ability of the teacher amd. the assad- 1 uity of his pupils. Songs were real- J idered by Misses M. Cameron, E. j Jago and. H. Hodge, and Messrs. J. G. Bee, F. v H. E. L. Lees, and A. Long; musical monoQogueg by Miss N. Hogg and Mcr E. R.
